[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UMD with a 64% acceptance rate.  Yikes.  Let's keep it out of the "selective" discussion, ok?  It's a solid Big State U.  But not even close to elite.  [/quote]

Whoever said it was elite?[/quote]

Exactly.[/quote]

UMD is clearly not elite.  It's not even selective, as these acceptance rates confirm.  But there seems to be a large contingent of UMD boosters on DCUM who keep talking about how hard it is to get into now, how it's not a safety anymore, etc.  They should stop with the nonsense and shenanigans.  [/quote]

Please stop.[/quote]

Look at stats for engineering or comp sci.  A whole different world.[/quote]
+1  It's tough to get in for CS/engineering majors.  [/quote]

as well as the Business school (Accting, Finance, Mrkting, IS,....etc), Journalism school, essentially any of the Limited Enrollment Programs.[/quote]

Ok...but the acceptance rate was 64%, which would include all of those "hard to get into" programs.  How easy must the other programs be???  64% is pretty much everybody getting in.  [/quote]

Unless you are part of the 36% who don’t get in [/quote]

Please.  Take a look at the acceptance rates of schools that are actually hard to get into.  UMD isn't one.  [/quote]
